1. A disposable pull-on garment contained in a package, the pull-on garment having a waist opening and leg openings, and having a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline, the pull-on garment comprising a main portion and side portions extending transversely outwardly from the main portion, the pull-on garment having longitudinal side contour lines to define a transverse width of the pull-on garment, the pull-on garment having a first transverse width between the longitudinal side contour lines at the waist opening and a second transverse width between the longitudinal side contour lines at the side portions, the second transverse width being greater than the first transverse width and being the greatest transverse width at the side portions in a flat contracted and unfolded condition of the pull-on garment, wherein
the side portions are folded along a folding line toward the longitudinal centerline when the pull-on garment is contained in a package such that the second transverse width decreases and the difference between the first transverse width and the second transverse width decreases when the side portions are folded compared with when the side portions are unfolded.
2. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the longitudinal side contour line at the side portion has an inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pull-on garment to become more distant from the longitudinal centerline as it gets closer to the leg openings when the side portion is unfolded, and the angle of the inclination of the longitudinal side contour line decreases with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pull-on garment when the side portion is folded.
3. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 or 2 wherein the transverse width at the side portions is constant along the longitudinal centerline when the pull-on garment is in a flat uncontracted and unfolded condition.
4. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 3 wherein the pull-on garment comprises a waist elastic material along the waist opening and a side elastic material on the side portion, wherein contracted width between the longitudinal side contour lines at the waist opening is greater than contracted width between the longitudinal side contour lines at the side portions when the pull-on garment is in a flat contracted and unfolded condition.
5. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the folded width of the side portion adjacent to the leg opening is greater than the folded width of the side portion adjacent to the waist opening.
6. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the side portion adjacent to the leg opening is folded and the side portion at the waist opening is not folded.
7. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the side portion is folded along the folding line disposed laterally outside the main portion such that the main portion is not folded.
8. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the pull-on garment comprises an absorbent main body and a belt, the absorbent main body comprises waist panels and a crotch panel between the waist panels, the belt comprises a central panel and side panels transversely outwardly extending from the central panel, wherein the main portion comprises the waist panels, the crotch panel and the central panel, and the side portion comprises the side panels.
9. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 wherein the side portion comprises a front side portion and a back side portion, and the side portion is folded such that the folded portion of the side portion is sandwiched between the front side portion and the back side portion.
10. The disposable pull-on garment of claim 1 or 9 wherein the main portion comprises a front main portion and a back main portion, and the side portion is folded such that the folded portion of the side portion is sandwiched between the front main portion and the back main portion.

Patent claims:
1. Actuator for an electro-hydraulic braking system of the brake-by-wire type comprised of a hydraulic pressure generator or master brake cylinder and a travel simulator, with said master brake cylinder including at least one piston that is operable by an actuating pedal, and wherein a device for detecting a driver’s deceleration wish is provided, said device cooperating with said piston and being at least partly arranged in a master brake cylinder housing, characterized in that the device for detecting a driver’s deceleration wish comprises an annular housing (10) embracing the piston (6) in a radial direction and accommodating signal receiving elements (11) which cooperate with signal transmitting elements (12) mounted on the piston surface.
2. Actuator as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the piston (6) is guided in the housing (10).
3. Actuator as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the annular housing (10) is axially preloaded in relation to the master brake cylinder housing (20).
4. Actuator as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the housing (10) includes a first cable guide part (16) extending through a flange (4) that is used to attach the actuator (1) to a vehicle wall.
5. Actuator as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the first cable guide part (16) is sealed radially in relation to the flange (4).
6. Actuator as claimed in claim 4 or 5, characterized in that the first cable guide part (16) is shaped so that its contour in a determined angular area corresponds to the contour of an area of the master brake cylinder housing (20) that extends into a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle.
7. Actuator as claimed in claim 4, 5 or 6, characterized in that an electric connector part (22) is provided at the end of the first cable guide part (16).
8. Actuator as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that interposed between the first cable guide part (16) and the connector part (22) is a second cable guide part (19) that extends in parallel to the master brake cylinder housing (20).
9. Actuator as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that the second cable guide part (19) is attached to the master brake cylinder housing (20) near the connector part (22).
10. Actuator as claimed in claim 8 or 9, characterized in that the housing (10), the first cable guide part (16), the second cable guide part (19), as well as the connector part (22) have an integral design.
